AuthorTopic: xgalaga (Read 14425 times)

Does anybody know where I can find a recent version of xgalaga for Slackware/VL? There's one for Slack 10.0, which installs and works, but the window is tiny (the Debian version is or can be full screen). I've tried compiling it but there are errors when using gcc 4. Also, I want the cheat codes on and can't figure out how to do that at all. If anybody knows of a package (Google was no help) I would greatly appreciate it.

I'll put in a package request if nobody knows of one, but I hate to do that over something so trivial.

I should of said I did a Wham-bam patch and build. It did compile but the patches are Debianized like heck so I need to analyze what the patches are doing. I'm sure I can get it worked out, but it's family time at the moment

No problem BTW, you know I love ya. Not in that uncomfortable way. Just had to make that clear

You see, that doesn't make me uncomfortable. You know why? Because I want this game, that's why. At this point nothing would make me uncomfortable. I would pose for photos wearing that embarrassing Tron suit to get xgalaga. Not that anybody wants to see that, no they don't.

I normally don't play computer games (except for chess) but I was 14 in 1981 when the original Galaga came out, which is right in the zone for a guy to become completely hooked on a video game (ages 6-45) so for that reason I'm still completely hooked on this thing. Thanks for the help, exeterdad and Hanu/Epic.

I have a interest in this game also. I have this handheld-joystick-arcade-looking thingie that hooks to my TV with Galaga, Ms Packman, Pole position and 2 others I can't remember the name for. But it really is true to the original games. We play it often.

I GOT IT!!!! My eyes and brain hurt now. But I got it!I built it on a dirty machine, so I'm not giving it to you yet. I'll set up a chroot and package it properly. Hopefully tomorrow. I'm out of "Geek Time" for now.

I could set up a web cam of my next door neighbor (young professional woman) who walks around her apartment - with the blinds drawn - in her birthday suit and you could put that on the main VL page. That would do more for web traffic than me in any kind of outfit.

I just realized that if GrannyGeek or one of the other women sees this post, they'll kill me - but, hey, I've had a good run.

P.S. Did I really write "birthday suit?" What I meant was naked.
